Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame missing its plate and pin. The frame is oval with an offset and narrowed strap bar and offset outer edge recessed in the centre to take a sheet roller, now missing. The outer edge has large knops flanking the recessed centre. The upper and lower sides have a convex outer face and a ridge down the centre of the inner face. Incised lines mark off the offset ends of the strap bar so they appear like separate knops. There is short stepped in area in the centre of the strap bar, probably to hold the pin. The frame is 20.2mm long, 4.9mm thick and 26.5mm wide and weighs 3.58 grams.Egan (2007:95) illustrates a very similar example, no.590, with a shorter roller. He suggests (ibid:86) this type (Meols Type 11) dates to the Medieval period (c.1250-1400 AD).
